The popular comedy team of the 1940s and 1950s, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, goes up against Universal Studios’s monsters in this zany spoof. Dracula (Bela Lugosi), the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.), and Frankenstein’s Monster (Glenn Strange) all make memorable appearances in this horror comedy mashup, which manages to do justice to both genres―a feat frequently attempted but rarely achieved.

DIRECTED BY: Charles T. Barton. WRITTEN BY: Robert Lees, Frederic I. Rinaldo, John Grant. WITH: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi. 1948. 83 min. USA. B&W. English. Recommended for ages 7+. DCP.

**Accessible Screening: On the last Saturday of every month, the museum's Family Matinee is an accommodative screening where we offer open captioning, keep the theater dimly lit, and maintain a lower volume specifically for neurodivergent viewers.**
